Meteor-M2 The Russian high definition weather satellite you can decode to view your local weather.

The Russian weather satellite Meteor-M2. A polar orbiting craft whose
VHF transmissions you can receive and decode to produce high definition
images of the earth. This is not a tutorial on how to do this as it is covered by a numberof You Tube videos. I have however listed the hardware and software I have used to produce these results. It is not difficult but labour intensive. I have also included a comparison between Meteor-M2 and the American NOAA range of weather satellites that you can also receive on VHF. I leave you to compare and contrast. This You Tube is collection of images showing the quality that you can achieve by careful photographic manipulation and colour enhancement. I have added many notes on when, where and direction of satellite including land masses that might be difficult to identify for non Europeans. Also included near the end of this video are raw images as they were received from the Meteor-M2 before processing and outtakes that never made the cut. By viewing this video, you must be interested in this
subject. If you are, try receiving weather satellites yourself. You might be surprised how easy it can be once you get the technique mastered. Good luck.
